About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the quiet neighborhood of Maplewood, something strange began happening outside Dr. Smith’s Ideal Dental office one morning. As a little girl walked by with her mother, she suddenly stopped and pointed excitedly at the window. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘look at that tooth!’ And sure enough, there it was—a perfectly formed human tooth floating in mid-air above the door. A delivery driver passing by later that day noticed the same thing—a tiny white smiley face waving from the air. He pulled over curiously but couldn’t figure out how it got there. Eventually, an old neighbor stopped by and explained matter-of-factly, 'Oh, that? It's just Dr. Smith's way of advertising his new teeth whitening service.' Everyone laughed, and life returned to normal—except for occasional sightings of miniature dental assistants helping patients from afar.

2. At dawn one morning, an Ideal Dental van appeared on Main Street with its doors wide open, and a sign taped inside read: ‘Today is your lucky day—free dental cleaning for everyone!’ A regular walked in, looked around curiously, then asked the first person he saw: 'Hey, where’s my free cleaning?' The receptionist smiled sweetly and replied, 'It says right here, today’s YOUR lucky day!' Turned out, every mirror in the place had been swapped with ones from a local carnival.

3. At dusk, when most dentists were locking their doors, a mysterious figure started visiting Ideal Dental's empty parking lot. One night, a delivery driver pulled up and asked nervously if anyone had seen the dentist. A voice from inside replied, ‘Just call me Dr. Moonlight!’ Turned out it was just the owner, who loved his job so much he never left—even after hours.

4. One night, after hours, a delivery driver pulled up to the Ideal Dental entrance and asked aloud, ‘What kind of dental practice stays open until midnight?’ Inside, an old janitor grumbled, ‘Midnight? More like three in the morning!’ A moment later, a sleepy receptionist yawned and said, ‘Welcome to Ideal Dental—where your teeth are our only emergency!’ The delivery driver shook his head with a smile and muttered, ‘Next time I’ll just leave it on the doorstep.’
